EXERCISE: One Line!

original posting: Thu, 21 Feb 2002 00:49:12 -0500

I think I misheard the song, but here's your starting line:

There were crystal lakes inside her eyes.

There you go.  Now, who is she?  What are these crystal lakes?  Reflections, reality, or ???

Who is the narrator?  Where are they that they can see these crystal lakes?

By the way, what does a crystal lake look like?

Go ahead.  Start your story (poem, fragment, flash, etc.) with that line.

There were crystal lakes in her eyes.

Feel free to modify it.  Add to it.  Strip it down.

But write!

and, if you like, share the results with us.

There were crystal lakes in her eyes.

Look forward to reading you.
